Anthony Edwards Sits Out Timberwolves vs. Celtics NBA Game Tonight on NBC
The Minnesota Timberwolves will face the Boston Celtics at TD Garden tonight without All-Star guard Anthony Edwards. The team announced on March 17 that an MRI showed inflammation in his right knee.
Edwards will be re-evaluated in one to two weeks. He is expected to miss tonight’s matchup but could return for the playoff stretch.
Injury update and timeline
The Timberwolves’ medical staff confirmed the inflammation after the MRI on March 17. The team set a one-to-two-week window for re-evaluation.
The absence adds to the T-Wolves’ recent periods without Edwards this season. Coach Chris Finch said the team must regroup and play better collectively.
How Minnesota will adjust
Minnesota will rely on depth when Anthony Edwards sits out the Timberwolves vs. Celtics NBA Game Tonight on NBC. Key rotation players must absorb extra minutes.
- Jaden McDaniels
- Rudy Gobert
- Donte DiVincenzo
- Julian Randle (listed as available depth)
Fan favorite Naz Reid is day-to-day with an ankle sprain. The team’s ability to replace Edwards will factor into tonight’s result.
Standings and stakes
The game carries significant playoff implications for both clubs. Minnesota sits amid the Western Conference fight for a top-six seed.
If the Timberwolves falter, the Play-In Tournament could be their path to the postseason. Boston seeks momentum as it gets healthier.
